- Comment: I love it when William Wallace (Mel
Gibson) says before he enters the battle of Falkirk, "You can take
our lives but you cannot take our freedom!!!!" And when Wallace is
lying on the guillotine and is about to be beheaded, the look in
his eye and when the king says that all his body parts will be
sent to all the corners of Scotland, I sort of develop a rather
large lump in my throat and a tear in my eye, I dont know why, but
i do!!!

Comments: I have been looking forward to the
return of the Men In Black very much. The
- combination of Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith made
a good contrast and
dynamic comedy team in the original movie, which
tickled my love of
slapstick, horror and "thinking" comedy.. Men In
Black is a movie I've seen a
few times, such was the originality and excellence
of execution.
In MIB2, there is a new threat to save our fragile
little planet from. There
is a combination of a rehashing of situational
jokes from the original, and a
new set to go with the new threat to our
existence. While I found the
reference to established jokes perhaps too quick
at times, there is plenty of
twists to satiate the need for a Men In Black
"fix".
It seemed as though the writers changed 1/2 way
through, as the story seemed
to improve once the obligatory references were
made.. This is a let down
after the first movie, which by neccessity was
very well crafted and allowed
the viewer to experience the story
develop.
The story is very fast moving, perhaps a little
shallow, but some of the
scenes had me laughing out loud. The end, once
again has a clever twist which
sends our assumption of understanding our
significance in a big picture back
into reality..
The obligatory musical interlude of Will Smith is
thankfully restricted to
the closing title, during which I was still
chuckling as I walked out of the
Millenium Cinema.
7.5/10

Comment: Okay, so don't go see this if you're
looking for an adult film. The preview audience I saw this with my
young niece and her friends who absolutely loved it! They laughed
out loud a lot, they were charmed with Mia's charm, they loved her
story.
- It was cute, not very well acted but it had Julie
Andrews at her most glowing, beautiful best. She kept your focus
whenever she was on screen. Hector Elizondo was sweet and Mandy
Moore was the typical stereotypical evil cheerleader. Mia's best
friend is the outstanding young actress from "Welcome to the
Dollhouse."
It has all the presence of a Disney-touched film,
all the way down to momentously inspired water fountains and
twinkle lights going off simultaneously with a kiss.
Go see it for fun, for mindless laffs, for Julie
Andrews, not the acting.

- Comment: It is off-your-face-humour, satirizing
relationships, money and society's values.

- Not for everyone, but if you're quirky, this is
good, VERY GOOD.
